I wonder if David also belongs the THIS organization?

"Eric Hoffer in his book The True Believer made a good case for a certain kind of personality (which we might call a fanatic) who will continue to believe something even after there is overwhelming evidence that it is a falsehood or, even more dangerous, a half-truth. Believing fulfills a need with them, and in their minds attacking a false belief is the same as attacking them personally. I'm sure you know someone like this. 'Don't confuse me with the facts!'
